Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Lets say that one doesn't remember exactly which movies a certain actor was in there's currently no way to do a more specific search.

Describe the idea you'd like You type the name of one or more actors and hit Enter. This will show all the movies based on your name search.

Describe alternatives you've considered There are none that I know in PopcornTime atm.

Additional context Search for movies with Walter Matthau

That will be depending if the API has this information. We dont have a say in what info an API "fetches" as they are 3rd party code.

It is just as simple to open a browser and type a name there to find out who is playing in what movie (probably also a lot faster that way).

Like @dutchy1001 said if the API allows search by actor Popcorn Time does too. If not.. no much that can be done client-side.
